    Www.viovet.co.uk
    Www.animeddirect.co.uk

    I don't know how much they usually cost you, are these sites cheaper? You'll have to get a prescription for the advocate, though, and the prescription itself can cost around £10. On top of that, unless you order a lot, you'll have to pay p&p which is £1.95 for viovet, I believe. It may still work out cheaper for you, but I'm not sure seeing as I don't know how much you're usually charged. Getting a one time prescription for a large order can save you money, so it would be good to ask your vet to put a few repeats on the prescription too.

    I've always used Vetmedic for my Drontal. (Haven't ever ordered scrip meds from them but I guess their prices will be competitive)

    There are usually great deals to be had at Crufts for the wormers- special show prices.

    Animed are cheapest on most drugs, but when I buy I google various suppliers to get the best deal.

    Animed here, though I order Cestem rather than Drontrol (same active ingredient but cheaper). Still a big saving despite a £12 prescription charge from my vet

    Animed are much cheaper at £1.55 per tablet (standard or bone shaped) and no minimum spend for free postage .

    I usually use Beeston - www.petfleas.co.uk for my dog's wormers/flea treatments. I've not used Drontal for ages - I use Effipro instead now - but they always used to be cheap for Drontal. And I've never used Advocate either, so not sure how that compares. Probably worth a look though as they are very good and their prices are usually very competitive.

    I buy Drontal from Amazon actually, though not sure how they compare on price to other places.
